ANZAC DAY
Anzac Day stands for AUSTRALIAN and NEW ZEALAND ARMY CORPS. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity. The soldiers believed that Poppy's are red because of all the suffering and blood. Poppies are worn to show others that you are remembering those who died for their country. The reason poppies are used is because they are the flowers which grew on the battle fields after World War I ended. Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. Australia had been a federal commonwealth for only 13 years when war broke out in 1914. On 25 April Australian and New Zealand forces landed on Gallipoli meeting fierce resistance from the Ottom Turkish defenders. What had been planned as a bold stroke to knock Turkey out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months. At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated, after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. Over 8,000 Australian soldiers had been killed. News of the landing on Gallipoli had made a profound impact on Australians at home, and 25 April soon became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in the war. Although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions during the campaign left us all a powerful legacy. The creation of what became known as the “ANZAC legend” of both nations became an important part of the identity shaping the ways they viewed both their past and their future. "WANTED" POSTER
The Olympic Games,an international athletics competition are held 4 years at a different site. The site of the game is chosen usually 6 years in advanced. With the cheering, the Olympic Games began in the Spring of 1896.
The London Organizing comitee of the Olympic & Paralymic Games (LOCOG) is preparing for the enormous operational challenges that come with staging a major international event.
When a student learns that the letter ‘b’ in the word ‘bus’ makes a /b/ sound, or that the letters ‘e’ ‘a’ in the word ‘bread’ make the /e/ sound, they are learning phonics.
When we speak we are combining sounds to make words – these sounds are called ‘phonemes’. These are the smallest parts of speech a person can hear e.g. the word ‘tap’ contains 3 phonemes /t/ /a/ /p/. The word ‘sunny’ contains 4 phonemes /s/ /u/ /n/ /ee/.
When we write words we make spelling choices. These spelling choices are called ‘graphemes’ e.g. Through practice, we learn that in the word ‘sun’ the /s/ sound is represented by the letter ‘s’ (and not one of the other spelling choices for this sound such as ‘c’ as in ‘city’) that the /u/ sound is represented by the letter ‘u’ (and not by one of the other spelling choices for this sound such as ‘o’ as in ‘glove’).
National Parks
I have been to Dandenong Ranges National Park. It is divided into 5 sections:
Doongalla Forest – Containing Mount Dandenong itself, and the SkyHigh lookout.
Ferntree Gully – The south western section of the Dandenong Ranges National Park.
Sherbrooke Forest( If you need the information about Sherbrooke Forest then click on it.)
Olinda Forest occupies the eastern slopes of Mount Dandenong.
Mount Evelyn Forest is the most Northerly section of the park.
I love Dandenong Ranges National Park!
I have also been to Port Campbell National Park. Port Campbell National Park is a Protected National Park. It has several tourists attractions including The Twelve Apostles, The London Arch, Loch Ard George, The Gibson Steps and The Grotto. (More information are in the tourists attractions.)
The 12 Apostles were AMAZING!
